201*runs scored by Glenn Maxwell is the highest in an ODI run-chase, the highest for a non-opener and the highest ever in the men's format for Australia. It was also the 11th double hundred in ODIs, and the third in World Cups. The previous highest score from No.6 or below in ODIs was Kapil Dev's 175* against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells in the 1983 World Cup.

177 - The difference between the top two individual scores in Australia's innings (Maxwell's 201* and Mitchell Marsh's 24*) is the third highest in ODIs after 198 for India against Sri Lanka in Kolkata (2014) and 195 for New Zealand vs West Indies in the 2015 World Cup quarter-finalin Wellington, with Rohit Sharma (264) and Martin Guptill (237*) leading the way in the respective team innings. The previous record in a run-chase was 162 for Pakistan against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2021, followed by Australia's 148 against Bangladesh in Mirpur 2011, with Fakhar Zaman (193) and Shane Watson (185*) being the respective top-scorers.
3 players to have bagged a wicket and scored a double hundred in an ODI match (Men's or Women's). Maxwell, who had returned 1/55 earlier in the day, became the second in Men's ODIs to achieve this feat after Chris Gayle's 215 and 2/35 in Canberra 2015. New Zealand Women all-rounder Amelia Kerr achieved a staggering double of a double hundred and five-for in the same ODI - 232* and 5/17 - against the Ireland Women in Dublin in 2018.
3 World Cup hundreds registered by Glenn Maxwell, two from No.6 and one from No. 5. No other batter has registered more than one hundred from No.5 or below in World Cup history.
202* runs added by Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins is the highest-ever partnership for the 7th wicket or below in ODIs, surpassing the 177 added by Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid against New Zealand in Birmingham in 2015. The previous highest for the eighth wicket or below in ODIs was the unbeaten 138-run stand between South Africa's Justin Kemp and Andrew Hall against India in Cape Town in 2006.
The 202 runs added by Australia after being reduced to 91/7 is also the most added by a team in an ODI innings after the fall of the seventh wicket, bettering the 196 added by Africa XI vs Asia XI in Bengaluru in 2007. The third on this list is the previous World Cup record of 188, by Kapil Dev and Syed Kirmani (India) against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells in 1983.

292 is the highest target chased successfully by Australia in World Cups, five more than the 287 they had gunned down against New Zealand in Chennai in the 1996 quarter-final. It was also the highest successful chase in ODIs at the Wankhede Stadium, bettering 281 by New Zealand against India in 2017.
6 instances of Australia losing four wickets for less than 50 in a World Cup innings, and quite amazingly, they ended up winning each of them, the most recent coming on Tuesday. The previous five instances were against England in the 1975 semi-final in Leeds, against West Indies in the 1996 semi-final in Mohali, against New Zealand and against England in Gqeberha in 2003, and against West Indies in Nottingham in 2019.
43 sixes hit by Maxwell in World Cups is the third-highest count for any batter, only behind Chris Gayle (49) and Rohit Sharma (45).
31 boundaries by Glenn Maxwell (21 fours and 10 sixes) is the highest boundary count in an ODI innings for Australia, bettering Shane Watson's 30 (15 fours and as many sixes) against Bangladesh in Mirpur in 2011. It is also the second-highest count in a World Cup innings, after Guptill's 35 (24 fours and 11 sixes) during his 237* against the West Indies in 2015.
10 sixes hit by Maxwell is also the highest for Australia in a World Cup innings, one better than nine each struck by David Warner and Mitchell Marsh against Pakistan in Bengaluru last month.
17.64 - Pat Cummins contributed an unbeaten 12 off 68 in the record 202* run-stand, his strike-rate being the second lowest in a World Cup innings for a minimum 10 runs scored. The previous slowest ODI innings for Australia (min.10 runs) was Mark Taylor's 10 off 48 (SR: 20.83) against India in Christchurch in 1990.
